Could Mark Hamill play Vesemir?

You are not alone

Guys y’all don’t have to feel guilty about that. They don’t give you any clues that there is multiple timelines until episode 3 and then episode 4 makes it very obvious. It was a narrative choice they made purposely

Yeah, he's way too short for the role.

Isn't Vesemir at eye-level with Geralt?

Yes. Win.

it got hate upfront but i really liked how they did it. And their explanation for it is fantastic. (Deals with how Christopher Nolan did this in Dunkirk to explain 3 different timelines, which all have the same importance, but each takes place over substantial different timelines. Meaning, in Dunkirk, it was 3 phases, 1 of which took 1 month, one took 1 week, and one took 1 day yet they all were of the same importance. So they focused the same amount of time on each one.)

I kind of hope they slow the storyline down from here though and build over several seasons. This is a show that could go easily 9-12 seasons. I’d hate to see them run through the entire story in 4-5 seasons. They’d be skipping so much material.

The first episode
When Queen Calanthe and Eist discuss the threat posed by Nilfgaard's army on the march, Princess Ciri butts in wanting to know more. But when it's implied that she is too young for such matters, Ciri fires back, telling her grandmother, "you won your first battle in Hochebuz when you were my age." The connection to Geralt comes just minutes later. When discussing what she could have been, Renfri chooses a familiar reference. "Queen Calanthe of Cintra?" she mentions to Geralt, "She just won her first battle at Hochebuz."

Slow people maybe, both conversations happen within minutes
Try to be an active viewer, rather than a passive one. Don’t let titties distract you.
